We ask you to give examples of gold that is not encircling. What is meant by encircling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We have taken, I mean, a set of examples of encircling items and vessels. Now, we want an example, if it is just one example, of what is permissible, since this is forbidden?
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Buttons are permissible.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Gold buttons, gold-colored buttons, a comb made of gold, and so on. But the problem is that people... this is not encircling. This... encircling is what surrounds the limb. This does not surround the limb. This is a hole through which it is hung.
The questioner : Even the ones that are hung, if they are round.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : The ones that are hung, if they are round.
The Shaykh : I told you that what is meant by encircling is what surrounds and becomes a ring around the limb. Yes, the means are many, but people have become accustomed to a pattern of adornment. What does she want to adorn herself with? May Allah protect you, you have ruined the world because you were prevented from a certain type, and the permissible is far more abundant. Now, Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
